All of Anders lyrics leave so much up for interpretation, they can really mean a lot of things to a lot of people.
To me, it could almost be about expressing yourself. 'He' could be just the inner part of the singer. The singer build up the courage to express himself, to introduce 'him' to the others:
Pacing around in circles
Talking to himself
He could see teh beauty there
Talking to another one
The singer wants to show this other side of himself.
She came to see our city
She came in the dead of the night
I tried to introduce him
But she got scared and ran away
She did not come to see him, she is just visitor passing through. The other side of the singer frightens her.
They came, thousands from far away
They came a sunny day
I tried to introduce him
Now I'm talking to myself
I tried to introduce him
Now I am the one talking to myself
Now after showing all these others, the other side of him is just too uncomfortable with being exposed. Leaving the singer unable to express this other side of himself, left talking to himself.
As I said, it leaves so much up to how you look at it, which I love about Anders' lyrics.
